Abstract

Here we describe a new chromene bearing at their 3 position terthiophene and quaterthiophene. When optically excited, these molecules undergo a structural change passing from a neutral state (closed form) to a strongly polarized one (open form). This photochromic process is also accompanied by a large increase in the electrical conductivity.
